It may be hard to believe, but Yulia Brodskaya's pizza box art was actually meant to hold food at one point. For those who are unfamiliar with the artist, Brodskaya uses only two materials when she works: paper and glue. She carefully bends and folds each piece of paper before gluing it down, creating amazing works of art in the process.
Yulia Brodskaya's pizza box portrait of what looks to be either a hummingbird or butterfly (art is in the eye of the beholder) was created for the Dutch food ordering website Thuisbezorgd.nl. There is no word on whether the site commissioned the work for its offices or if it plans to use it for promotional purposes. Here's hoping the site never gets desperate enough to deconstruct Brodskaya's piece to create a much-needed pizza box.
